I bought this battery for my Pixma iP90v portable printer. At first, I had a nagging hunch that I was just indulging my inner geek, but I was recently at a lease signing at a house with no electricity. This battery allowed me to use the iP90v to print off digital photos of damage left by previous tenants on the spot.

It didn't take very long to charge up fully, and installation is a very simple matter of plugging it into the back of the printer and then turning 2 screws to secure it in place. The printer's regular AC adapter then plugs into the battery afterwards.

I previously had the Canon i80 portable printer with the portable battery pack. It was ok, only problem that I had is that the battery get wasted fast and it is bulky. When I found out that this new battery is lighter and last longer, I have no problem buying it. This had some me the hassle of needing to find a power outlet in class or at a Starbucks to print out some papers. Now I can easily just take out my printer, put some paper in and start printing.

I purchased this product from Amazon, as I trust Amazon. The product comes from ANTOnline, however, and this is not a company I will ever deal with again. It took me awhile to figure it out but the product was defective because one of the screws that hold the product on the printer was defective. The screw cannot be removed either. So I contacted Amazon and they refer me to ANTOnline. Their defective product policy is that you go to the manufacturer for replacement. Period! I contacted Canon and after 25 minutes off and on hold the bottom line is they don't replace printer accessories so they say go back to the merchant for replacement. By this time ANTOnline support is gone on vacation. So I'm stuck in a catch 22 and I need this battery for a trip overseas. The thing that makes me angriest is that all this takes about 2-3 hours of my time and I don't like waisting time on something this stupid. I advise you to purchase this from a more reputable company. It's not worth the frustration.

I charged up the LK-51B and then connected it to my i90 printer. Works as advertised. Love not having to worry about carry the AC/DC brick with printer and looking for outlets!

This battery pack makes the iP90v truely portable. The charge lasts a long time, and it is convenient not to have to plug it in. It is a "must have" accessory to complete the printer package. I highly recommend it.

This is a great option to purchase. I is a little pricey, but well worth it. You can find it for less than $100. It is very nice on the road, just take it out of your bag and turn it on. It's even better if you have infared on your laptop, no wires at all. It has good battery life, I use it a few times a week in the field; I have charge it about once a month. It charges in less than 2 hours, with the original printer power pack. I would highly recemend it.

Why would you want to carry the AC adapter around with your new hi-tech printer?

The battery does have a lighted indicator to tell how much power is left.

Get the battery and leave the power brick at home.

It works without a problem. I was able to connect it to the Printer and it does the job it was designed to do.

Snap the battery into the holder and then screw it onto the back of the printer using a coin. Then charge up the battery. Don't freak out when you see the three green lights flashing -- that just means it is charging. They go off when charging is complete. The battery seems to hold a charge for a long time. People seem surprised to see the printer suddenly start printing when it is just sitting on the table with no wires. It is rather expensive in my opinion, but it does the job.

I searched every electronic store i could find and even in these difficult times I could not find a deal. So I went to Amazon, and not only did I get my printer I got the battery and bluetooth all for less than the cost of the printer in the stores. It works great and it was shipped to me very quickly. Thank you and believe me when I say, I told ALL my friends.
